Pets before people? – These Afghans say animals were taken from Kabul to the UK ahead of them

It was a row over cats and dogs that became a political scandal. Last summer, animal rights campaigners chartered a plane to transport vets and animals to the UK from Kabul.

But only the animals made it out and the plane left without the Afghans despite having 229 empty seats. Now this programme has learned that some of those who say they were meant to be on that flight, still remain stranded and feel abandoned.

fatimamanji Clearly shows, us Brits love our animals more than some humans.

fatimamanji Pets are better than people anyway.

fatimamanji You'll have to up your game when you're privatised.

fatimamanji The sooner your sold off the better

fatimamanji lazy lies. That is not what happened. Others have put it better below.

fatimamanji And?

fatimamanji Why shitstirring and lying? DefenceHQ completed all charter flights, leaving one last slot for this very (privately paid) flight. Get a grip.

fatimamanji Animals are more valuable than Muslims Afghan people? What a different the way Europe, NATO and UK are treating the Ukrainians

fatimamanji Nowzad offered the seats to anyone who needed them, they were told there wasn't anyone to take the seats. British forces had already left Afghanistan BEFORE Nowzad's plane left. Many flights before theirs left empty - or with a car on board!

emeliobedelio fatimamanji Who is dredging his nonsense up all over again? Didn’t you see the SKY News on the eve of ‘that’ flight’s departure? No. 1: the Taliban had locked ALL entry gates to the airport and shooed away EVERYBODY trying to enter No. 2: Pen Farthing offered seats to govt., but left empty!!

fatimamanji Thank you for giving voice to the voiceless.

fatimamanji 'These Afghans say they were supposed to be on that flight' Pretty poor from Channel 4 News, the obvious Qs ignored - as it was a privately chartered flight *who* advised them they should/would be on that flight and *why* were they not able to be on that flight

fatimamanji Was Nowzad invited to comment?,I thought animals mostly went in hold they took as many people as they could,that may never have not got out another way,in a private chartered plane,shame to malign brave people for actions we would never put our hands up for.

fatimamanji So, UK Govt failed to evacuate them prior to the *privately chartered* Nowzad flight, which left After British Troops had been evacuated, and the UK Govt failed to make provision to enable them to be evacuated on the Nowzad flight despite Nowzad had offered to take them.

fatimamanji FakeNews. Just some chancers looking for a free ride 2 UK hospitality. Nothing to do with the government, it was a private charter so who chartered it was responsible for who/what was allowed to board & nowzad are operating in Kabul again.

fatimamanji

fatimamanji Nadzab suporters against all evidence still loudly insist humans their charter jumped no queue, full cargo of human beings was carried out too, and no Afghans who otherwise would not have been were stuck in Kabul evacuation was closed. Rampant self delusion rarely as obvious this

fatimamanji This should be a lesson to all those who invest their trust & confidence in the U.K. & U.S. When it comes to the crunch, they would rather rescue animals How many Ukrainian refugees have U.K. & U.S. taken in to date? Somehow they lead in the supply of lethal weapons to kill who?

fatimamanji Yeah but Boris said no so end of story

fatimamanji Seats on offer HMG vetoed it.

fatimamanji No wonder the tories want to mess with you. Vile. We need them out.
